Promise Island (Inuktitut: Nannuyuma; meaning: "polar bear")[1] is located near the western shore of Hudson Bay.[2] It is barely a square kilometer in area and rises {{Convert|300|ft|abbr=on}} in elevation on its northern side.[3] It is located about {{convert|9|km|abbr=on}}[4] from the community of Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut, Canada, and is part of a loose chain of small islands running along the coast, including the Wag Islands and Pitsiulartok (Fairway Island).

The island is home to a wide range of wildlife, including the Arctic fox (alopex lagopus innuitus), the harbor seal (phoca hispida), the polar bear, the brown lemming (lemmus t. trimucronatus), the barren-ground caribou (rangifer arcticus), and the red phalarope.[5][6]
